Chapter 9

Tommy, Rocky and Adam made their way to Jason's car. Tommy couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Kat and Tanya sitting in the back of the car.

"Are they now afraid of sunlight?" Tommy chuckled.

Rocky nodded, "You have no idea. It all started happening when you left, she's become this, miss thing. It's really driving me nuts."

Tommy laughed, "Tanya too?"

Adam nodded, "Not as bad, but she's loyal to Kat, so where Kat goes, Tanya goes, when Kat starts acting like a bitch, well Tanya's not too far behind on that mood swing."

Tommy sighed, "You're going to have to tell me more later. Do you think I should tell Kat I'm seeing someone?"

Adam laughed, 'You might want to, she has hopes of getting you back. If you mention its Kim, I can guarantee a heart attack, and that way she won't be bugging you."

Tommy shook his head, "You're bad. No one is to know about Kim until she is ready. What Jason said to her really shook her up, and after what happened, I don't want her scared."

Rocky nodded, "You know we'd never do anything to hurt Kim, she's like family. If she wants us to keep quiet, we will keep quiet."

Tommy smiled, "I knew there was a reason why I always liked you."

Rocky smirked, "I'm sure that's the only reason." Rocky turned serious. "Can you tell us what happened to Kim? I can tell she's been hurt."

Tommy shook his head, "I can tell you a little, but not everything, you can ask Kim what I leave out, it's her decision if she wants you two to know."

Rocky sighed, "Fair enough."

"After breakfast we will talk." Tommy said.

"Why not later tonight?" Adam asked.

Tommy smiled, " Because I am going to Kim's place afterwards. Since we didn't get to spend a lot of time together today. I have also been spending the night at Kim's for the past week, so we've sorted gotten used to sleeping with each other."

Rocky laughed, "And by sleeping you mean no sex right?"

Tommy nodded and smiled, "Correct, I don't think Kim are ready to be that commited just yet, maybe once we've been back together for more then a week."

Rocky smiled, "Good plan, cause as much as I love you, I'd break you if you ever hurt Kim."

Tommy couldn't help but laugh, "I know, you and Kim were always close."

Rocky nodded, "Ya, were like brother and sister. I love her like family, you know the five us were like family."

Tommy smiled, "I know, maybe one day we can be again. I mean Aisha is coming back in January, we all want to go to school. So why don't the five of us look at schools, and we can eventually look at some houses for us all to live in. If Adam ever gets himself a girl, she can move in with us too."

Adam just shook his head, "Well things WERE going god with Tanya before she underwent Kat's personality change."

Tommy nodded. "Alright, we will talk about this later."

They all nodded and went to greet Jason as they finally made arrived at the car.

"Hey Jase." Tommy said.

Jason smiled, "Hey bro, it's good to see you."

Tommy smiled.

"What took you guys so long?" Jason asked.

"Tommy was introducing us to his new girlfriend." Rocky said.

Jason looked at Tommy in shock, "New girlfriend?"

Tommy nodded, "Ya."

"When did this happen?" He asked.

Tommy sighed, "About a week ago."

"Wow, I wasn't expecting that. Do we get to meet her?" Jason asked.

Tommy shrugged, " I'm not sure. She's really busy with the race, and tonight she is spending sometime with her brother. Maybe after the race tomorrow."

Jason nodded, "I see, well I hope we get to meet her. So we ready for dinner?"

Tommy nodded, "Ya, I just got to shower and change. I can do that while you are checking in, and say hello to my parents."

Jason nodded, "Sounds good. We'll follow you?"

Tommy nodded.

"We'll ride with Tommy, so we won't be cramped in your car Jase." Rocky said.

Jason nodded, "Sounds good. Kat was complaining of having to ride it the back with you anyways."

Rocky laughed and mumbled, "I bet she was."

Jason got back into the car, while Rocky and Adam followed Tommy to his car. Tommy couldn't help but have a sinking feeling in his stomach. He knew there was trouble up a head, and he only hoped that he and Kimberly would be strong enough to face it.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Tommy sat in the restaurant with his friends. Meeting up again with Kat had been awkward, he could tell that she wanted to get back together, but she knew that he was seeing someone, he could only hope that, that information would be enough to keep her away.

He could see what Adam and Rocky were saying about Kat and Tanya. At times they would seem like their own selves, but as soon as things wouldn't go her way, she would become moody, and wouldn't stop until she got what she wanted. It was driving him nuts. He didn't understand why she changed. Maybe because he was no longer there, or she thought she was now the biggest thing since sliced bread, he didn't know. All he could think, was thank God he broke up with her.

Jason seemed to be hiding something from him all night. He got the feeling that he wanted to say something, but never did. Tommy had the feeling that it had to do with Kimberly, and even though Jason didn't know they were back together, it was still a subject that would not be addressed.

The night had been filed with a lot of awkward silence. Kat would keep bringing up the subject if his "new" girlfriend, and wanting to meet her, but he would simply reply that she was busy. Kat had even tried to get Rocky and Adam to tell them about his mystery girl, but they would just smile and said she was a nice girl. Tommy couldn't help but laugh, they were loyal to Kim, even though Kim left, and broke Tommy's heart, they still loved her like family, and at this moment, Tommy was extremely grateful for that.

"So what are we going to do after dinner?" Tanya asked.

"You guys can do whatever, but I'm afraid I won't be able to join you." Tommy said.

"Why's that Tommy?" Kat asked.

He smiled, "I have to go see my girlfriend. I promised her I would see her after we finished dinner, since we didn't get to spend a lot of time together today."

"Oh" Kat said. "Can't you see her a bit later?"

Tommy shook his head, "I'm sorry, but I can't be out too later. We both have to be up pretty early to be at the track, it's already 8:45."

"Come on Tommy, we're only in town for a few days." Jason said.

Tommy shook his head, "I know that, and I'm really sorry. After the race we can spend more time together, since I don't have to be in Las Vegas until Friday."

Jason sighed, "If she really wanted to spend time with you, she could have come out with us."

Tommy sighed, "I don't want to get into this Jason. She is spending time with her brother, she also didn't feel comfortable coming."

Jason shook his head, "So you are going to choose your new girlfriend over us?"

Tommy stood up, "No Jason, I'm not choosing. I am here with you, I wouldn't be able to do anything with you afterwards anyways. I am going over to see my girlfriend before going to bed. I have to be in bed by 10 in order to get a good nights rest, so I'd appreciate it, if you dropped it."

Jason nodded, "Fine."

Tommy turned to Rocky, " I'm going to head out. I'll call your cell later."

Rocky nodded, "Sounds good, say ho to your girl for me."

Tommy smiled, "Will do." He then turned to everyone. "I will see you guys later. Maybe we can all meet up before the race."

They nodded, "If we don't good luck." Tanya said. He nodded.

Tommy pulled up to Kim's house. He saw that there was still some lights on, so he hoped that Kenny wasn't asleep. He got to the door and wrung the bell. Within seconds Kim was at the door and into his arms.

"I missed you." She said before giving him a kiss hello.

Tommy laughed, "I missed you too beautiful."

She brought him into the house and they went straight to her room, after saying a quick hello to Kenny. She sat on her bed, already in her pj's, as she waited for Tommy to join her. Once Tommy took off his pants and shirt, he joined her on her bed. Once Tommy was settled, Kim snuggled up to him, as he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her as close as possible.

"How was dinner?" She asked.

Tommy sighed, "It was OK. Kat is trying to win me back, she and Tanya have taken on this new attitude, that is really annoying. Jason is up to something. We got into a little spat, he thinks you should've come out tonight, instead of me having to choose between the two."

Kim nodded, "You didn't have to come." She said softly.

Tommy just shook his head before kissing her forehead. "Kim, there isn't a place I'd rather be, then right here next to you."

Kim gave him a small smile. "Have I told you I love you today?"

He laughed, "I don't believe you have."

She smiled at him sincerely. "I do love you."

He smiled and kissed her, "And I love you."

She kissed him back, withal the feelings she could put forward in a kiss. When they broke apart they were both breathless.

"Wow. How come you never kissed me like that before?" Tommy asked.

She smirked, "I didn't think you could handle it."

Tommy laughed and flipped them over so he was on top. "Couldn't handle it?" She nodded, "Well see if you can handle this." He said before tickling her.

Kim knew there was no point in fighting him, he knew all her weaknesses, especially where she was ticklish.

When she could barely breath, she managed to yell out, "I give!"

Tommy laughed, "Whose tougher now!"

She merely laughed and kissed him. "Just remember, I know all your weaknesses too."

He nodded, "I know, and I also know you, which is why I know you will save that bit of revenge, until I least expect it."

She looked at him and smirked, "You have no idea."

Tommy laughed and kissed her, "I wouldn't expect anything less from you."

She nodded, "I know."

Tommy looked down at her and smiled before kissing her again, hoping he could kiss away all her fears, and reassuring her, that he loved her, no matter what.

After a few minutes they broke apart. Kimberly couldn't help but smile. She never knew Tommy to be so forward. He had always been so shy when they were going out, always afraid that he would go too far. She was surprised when he gave her, what she would assume, to be a very large hickey, one that would tell every male that she was indeed taken. He surprised her even more, when his hand made its way underneath her tank top. His hand massaged her skin and stomach, not going to far, but far enough to send shivers up and down her spine.

"Wow" Kim said as she looked up at Tommy.

"You're pretty wow yourself." he said.

She smiled, "I can feel."

Tommy blushed, "Sorry."

She shook her head, "There is nothing to be sorry Tommy. I'm glad I can get such a response from you."

She giggles, knowing that Tommy was very embarrassed.

"Well I'm glad to see you're enjoying yourself."

Kim smiled, "Well I'd rather that, then no response at all. I'd be a little worried."

He smiled. "I don't know how you do it."

She looked at him confused. "What do you mean?"

He laughed, "You make me go from feeling very embarrassed, that I was caught with a hard-on after making out with my girlfriend, to making me feel glad that I have one, because your glad I find you so stimulating."

Kim couldn't help but laugh, "Well I wouldn't put it quite like that."

He just shook his head. "You, my love, are full of surprises."

She nodded, "Well a girl has to got to have a little mystery."

He nodded, "Definitely a good thing."

She laughed, "Will you be ok? Because I think we should get some sleep."

Tommy nodded, "Ya, I just need to cool down. Just don't come too close." He said with a laugh.

She nodded, "Alright." She got up to turn off the lights before she joined him back in bed.

"I love you" She whispered.

He smiled, "I love you too beautiful." He kissed her one last time before pulling the covers over them, and pulling her as close as he could without feeling to uncomfortable.

"Goodnight Tommy."

"Goodnight Kim"
